  • Am I a bad guy?
    Am I a bad soul?
    My eyes roll backward
    My head fell forward
    We want the vampires
    They want the daylight
    Undecided if we will feel it

    All the lies and fantasies I picked to deny what is right
    As the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging
    To the legs of a butterfly.
    We live to see our children die,
    Turn to the bright to describe what we never will find,
    I'm a monster singing through the side of a left eye

    And I will pay for, and I will pay for,
    I couldn't have her,I couldn't save her,
    If I could grab on, I'd pull the

    All the lies and fantasies I picked to deny what is right
    As the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging
    To the legs of a butterfly, of a butterfly
    We live to see our children die,
    Turn to the light to describe what we never will find,
    I'm a vampire clinging to the sounds for a fast high.

    All the lies and fantasies I picked to describe what is right
    As the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging
    To the legs of a butterfly.
    I live to see our children die,
    Turn to the bright to describe what we never will find,
    I'm a monster singing through the sigh of a left high. Writer/s: James Gnecco
